Bill Pullman on "Independence Day" Sequels

Last Year, director Ronald Emmerich revealed that he has plans for two "Independence Day" sequels, called "ID4-ever: Part I" and "ID4-ever: Part II." He went on to say that the story will pick up after the events in the first movie.

"It's an alternate reality kind of movie," he said. "Naturally, the alien technology has changed everything. Who WILL be president?" Emmerich emphasized "WILL," hinted that Will Smith's character will someone become president.

To get an update, MTV News caught up with Bill Pullman, who played the president of the United States in the first film. The actor revealed that the sequels will likely never get made.

"It would be a challenge, just creatively with the studio, how much money it would take to make it, whether Will [Smith] would come and do it and what the story would be," he said. "[Emmerich] is one guy who may be able to pull it off. He doesn't let it die. And people seem to want to hear that it's gonna be done. There's a twinkle in his eye when he talks about it."

The original 1996 movie grossed $817 million worldwide on a $75 million budget.

They won't have to worry about getting Randy's character back for the sequel. But if they have to, be sure to bail out Randy's cell-lover to. Randy the Prison Bitch can tell the President he was anally probed by the alien 'D-Bone' Rodney Jefferson every night after lockdown.

Skippy you were a true fan. Hell i actually kept count on how many times i seen this movie after it came out on VHS, yes VHS back in 1996. I stoppped counted after 128 times. Too bad there will never be a sequal.

This has always been a head scratcher as to why there was never a sequel to this. I mean they green light sequels with far less impressive stats than $817 million on a $75 million budget. Hell movie nowadays would be $81 million on a $75 million budget and would get green lit. ID4 was damn near 1000% in profit.
